I've always wanted a PGC10 2-door, too bad I'll never have one.

Now, none were ever officially imported here right? They're all specially brought over?

I want a kpgc10 the most. Not only are they dead sexy sports cars with a nice racing history, but there is something about that S20 motor that is just plain bada$$!

W O W.

If I fly to CA, can I have a ride in that thing???

Does it have an S20?

How did you get your hands on it? Did you restore it yourself or buy it all minty like that?

I have OFFICIALLY never wanted ANY car more than I now want YOUR car.

Wow--great looking car C110!If you have more pictures, I would REALLY, REALLY appreciate it if you could post them.

I love the K&M--my favorite Skyline by a longshot.

I'd do some evil stuff to own one. evil

Alright, so this is a question for both you guys..

I know both your cars are older than 25 years old, and thus they're DOT and EPA exempt, which means none of the typical importing woes.

Can you guys describe the process by which you got them in the country? The name of the importer would be fantastic, but then also the process of just getting them over here and then registered (I imagine) as a historic.

How hard has it been to find parts for them, etc...?
